Hi,So we plan on making our own paper items for the wedding (ie. programs, invites, std's, ect.) and can't seem to find paper.  I went to Artist and Display around 85th and Burligh but every thing was $$$ and finacee said that the paper was too thick.  I guess we're looking for something lighter than cardstock that is not construction paper and we're looking for Chocolate brown, burnt orange, deep red, and a cream.  Does anyone have any ideas where to get this kind of paper in Milwaukee area or have had any good experences through an online vender?(the lighter weight cardstock at A&D was around 30 cents for an 8X10 sheet and I found a lighter weight non-construction paper  but it was $2.40 for 5 sheets!)

    I went through the paper mill store based out of wausau. You get wholesale prices and really good quality items for amazing prices. I got astrobrights card stock. 250 sheets of  11"X17" for like 27 bucks. Made all of my invites and other stationary items and I still have left over for other craft projects. I also got my envelopes through them too. 250 of them for 27 bucks. They have tons of brands and colors - you should check it out!http://www.thepapermillstore.com

    I got all my paper from Xpedx.  I made 150 pocket invitations for less than $100 including ribbon and glue.

    I went through Anchor Paper out of the Twin Cities. Tom was very helpful.

    I 2nd Xpedx. I found the same cardstock that Broadway Paper had way cheaper plus you get a 10% discount for wedding stuff. I got ideas at BP and made a mock up since you can get by the sheet there, then placed my order at Xpedx.
